Is this Black Beard Algae (BBA??) ???

Hi!

There's some algae growth on my wood... recently, it is growing a bit more bushy... dark green in color.

It's very stubborn, tried to use toothbrush to brush it away during weekend, but to no avail.



What's the name of my algae...? Also will it harm my water texture or anything? Seriously... I quite like the look of them on my wood... gives a wild and natural look and feel...

Big yamoto shrimps will devour this green growth on DW.

Beginnings of BBA or green spot algae.

The picture is not clear.
IT could either be BBA like Terence mentioend or a species of Cladophora.

I apologise for clarity of picture.. taken with my HP... will try to get a decent pic ASAP... whats cladophora? harmful?

If i introduce yamato shrimps, my rams and others might attack them ... poor things!
